I’m not sure if it’s ketchup, catsup, or any other bizarre spelling, but if you are the parent of a child under the age of 10, then you always make sure that you NEVER run out of this key ingredient. My kids put this stuff on everything, even foods that just don’t seem to make […]

If you’re like my family and cannot have gluten, dairy, eggs or refined sugar then you know how challenging breakfast can be! For the past few months we’ve been enjoying green smoothies and homemade breakfast sausage…7 days a week…and we were in need of a little change up, at least on the weekends. So, when […]

Homemade Beef Jerky, a Giveaway Winner…and a Revolution
posted on April 15, 2011 by
Homemade Gluten-Free, Allergy-Friendly Beef Jerky. Easy to make, challenging to photograph (in an appealing fashion anyway)! 😉 I love beef jerky, but all too often the prepackaged variety contains wheat so therefore it is off limits to me and my brood. I’m actually kinda thankful for that because it is not only easy to make, […]
